Learning how to use the back brake

[JakeyR]

I've finally started slowing down my wheelies, turned my idle up to 3k tonight and got practicing, i did a couple where i hardly used the throttle, just using the back brake, so im guessing thats balance point (tell me if im wrong sparks )

only got a couple of pics, quality aint ace as they where just for my use really to see how high the front wheelie is, but hey ho.

Looking good and sounds about right. definitely balance point by the looks of it.
Ive dropped a tooth on the front of my NC29 now, So it power wheelies in first! Also comes up WAAAY easy now, Like lower down in the rev range too, So as soon as I get a new chain on it, I'll be out learning how to go sloowww.

Shit hot man, i need a new clutch and could do with a slightly bigger sprocket, not talkin pizza dish, i just need a few teeth on the back i think. Slow stuff is far more fun imo, dont get me wrong fast wheelies are mega but i'd rather try slow stuff anyday.

what days are you holding lessons this week jake?
good work.looking awesome

is it just a case of practise practise practise?

I'd like to be able to do /even small/ wheelies on my bandit but dont know wher to start, and I only try the occasional one on my way to/from work and they result in epic fail. it is 33bhp but i should still be able to clutch it up shouldnt i?

sounds like a good idea. -1 on the front and +1 on the rear. now to check my wallet.

going up one on the rear would help, but really isnt necessary.
I might go make a video today on the NC29, Just to show how effortlessly it comes up in first with a wiff of clutch.

Oh and jake, that road your on looks awesome! Laker Road is the only local wheelie spot we have got here now and its a bit bumpy, Plus its next door to an air field so theres alot of side winds at the moment.

Is this the bike he got involved in a crash on 28th or 29th?
think it was him who wrote a thread saying it was a write off now

Wheelies are looking excellent mate, I hope to be that good one day. Shame about the accident though, look forward to seeing wheelies on the shiny new bike you get with your insurance payout though

[Visitor Q]

Oooh, same bike as me.

Whats with the dodgy neon rim tape

Gives me the fear
